Summary
Kentucky Basketball Secures Backup Center with Franck Kepnangs Return Kentucky basketball has solidified their backup center position with the return of Franck Kepnang, who will be playing his seventh and final college season. The six-foot-eleven, 253-pound big man averaged 6.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game last season, shooting over 50% from the field in nearly 23 minutes a night. Despite starting 25 of 27 games, Kepnangs journey to Kentucky was not without challenges due to injuries and disruptions from the 2020 recruiting class era. However, NCAA rules on COVID eligibility, redshirts, and medical waivers allowed him to extend his career. With Kepnang back, Kentuckys frontcourt gains a veteran presence for rim protection, setting up a strong rotation for the upcoming season.
